Join us at For Now with Dudley Stephens and ChappyWrap - the coziest brands around - for a holiday toast. Founders of both brands will be here (with some additional inventory!) joined by some great bloggers like Sarah Rose Stuart (@_srs_) and Ailsa Emmel (@_happygocurly_). See you then!

Our doors will have been open for a year - one year! - this December. It's been exciting - to say the least - to have met so many great customers and work with amazing emerging brands.

As a fun way to celebrate, please join us on 12/12 and come wearing your favorite For Now item (anything from earrings to underwear to a plant to a dress ... or all of them!) and/or wear something from a brand you love, and want to see sold at For Now. In either case, let us know what you're wearing during the event and why you love it - we live for this stuff!

During this crazy time of year, take a little me-time to get a complimentary mini facial from plant-based skincare brand, Poethique while enjoying a mimosa.

Join us and our special guest, Alice Peisch, MA State Rep, as we talk all things midterms.

We started For Now, in part, to tell the stories of emerging brands - we're suckers for a good narrative and we wanted to expand our stage to other topics that matter to us, such as politics.

That said, we're kicking things off with a midterm bootcamp; no equipment required - though you might still break a sweat. If you're anything like us, you have a lot of questions. What am I voting for? How should I vote? Do our votes mean anything on a national level?

If you're a marketer trying to work with influencers, or if you're an influencer trying to work with brands, you've probably been a little perplexed by the whole process at one time or another (or always).

While there is no "one size fits all" we've gathered a group of great Boston women, from both sides of the aisle, to help de-mystify this great marketing relationship.

Join Luna Yoga at For Now for a Saturday morning flow followed by mimosas, juice from 6AM Health & post work out skin care goodies from Bombchelle Beauty. If you've been looking to book a custom class or event, but wanted to try us first, here's your chance!

The founder of Frances Austen, Margaret Coblentz, will be visiting from SF and wants to meet with fellow women who are looking for quality garments that are sexy, versatile and timeless.

So take a mid-afternoon break and come by for a chat, some sweets and maybe a little sip (or many) of rosé. Then you can head back to your office on cloud 9 like nothing ever happened at all.

And ps: we're ALWAYS willing to hold on to shopping bags for those of you not wanting to re-enter the office with them. Just give us the code word "afternoon delight" and we'll know what you mean. See you!

Whether you have started a business, are thinking about it or just curious to learn more, join us at For Now in the Seaport for a night of networking with other entrepreneurial women.

Hear what challenges and successes our group of female entrepreneurs have faced on the topics below. If you have a topic that you'd like us to include ahead of time, feel free to let us know! We'll also have a Q+A afterward.

Meet Amy Lambroukos, founder of Boston-based Ser Verde Shoes. Her brand will be at For Now for the whole month of May!

ABOUT AMYI discovered Spanish handmade shoes while traveling. I had purchased several pairs and loved the unique style and comfort that I just couldn’t find here in the states. I decided to do some research and found a small family owned manufacturer in a coastal area in Spain. I work closely with the artisans that handmake Ser Verde and am so happy with the quality. Ser Verde means be green in Spanish. The color green to me represents balance and well being. It makes me think of lush tropics to make this the perfect warmer weather and resort shoe.
